Sugar Junction

I have spent a lot of my time here in Manchester in Sugar Junction, a fabulous vintage tea room with a tea selection to die for and the cakes...oh my giddy aunt, the cakes!

All the tea is served in china cups with china teapots, fresh flowers on the tables, vintage inspired eye-treats on the walls and genuinely friendly, welcoming service.

If you find yourself here in Manchester my top tips would absolutely include a visit here for some Wendy tea and Chocolate and Guinness Cake.

I would also recommend you bring an umbrella, to Manchester not to Sugar Junction.

Finally today I managed to meet up with my lovely friend...I shall blogname her 'Celia' for  a spot of lunch and a catch up. She is also up here doing a show and finally this week our schedules allowed us to see each other!

It was so lovely, she is such great company and she had picked a wonderful chic and unique Cafe in the Northern Quarter for us to sit and munch and natter. It seems the Norther Quarter is full of lovely teashops and today it was Sugar Junction. A lovely little vintage tea room with proper china and amazing homemade cake selections.

It was great to hear all about her rehearsals, her news and the very exciting job she has lined up after this one!

After a Halloumi salad and drink each (Pear and Elderflower for me - oh my), we selected a slice of Chocolate and Guinness Cake and a pot of Wendy Tea to share. Yums all round!


We're meeting again next week and she has decided she'd like me to teach her to knit....we all know how much I am looking forward to taking someone yarn shopping! Whoo Hoooo!
